House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano on Tuesday defended the controversial P50-million stadium cauldron to be used in the upcoming 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, saying the country’s own is actually cheaper than the one built by Singapore.

In contrast to Singapore’s cauldron, the cauldron at the New Clark City is designed by the late national artist for architecture Bobby Mañosa, was under the Philippine Sports Committee , and thus considered a “work of art.”

Cayetano, who appeared during the deliberation of the PSC’s budget, also said the cauldron serves as the symbol of the games whether it’s Olympic Games or SEA Games.” But Drilon insisted that that it is still a question of whether or not the policy of the state to build new facilities in Clark is a valid issue.

Ramirez also said the NCC would only be used as the venue for the swimming and track and field competition.

Another dumb presidential minion. Singapore's GDP is more than 10x the Philippines'. Not even comparable. Meanwhile, our very own athletes are ill-equipped and underfunded.

How could u.

Drilon questions ‘P50-million kaldero’ for SEA GamesMANILA, Philippines — Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon has questioned the P50-million estimated cost for the design and construction of a stadium cauldron for the Southeast Asian (SEA) Name it to kaldrilon Isulod ang mga dds sa caldero para pa bukalan...hehehe joke lang mga DDS I guess this cauldron is overpriced. Maybe close to 30M is reasonable but for it to jump up to 55M is really a doubtful project. Or maybe because the material used in these is really good and was imported from other countries.

P50-M SEA Games ‘kaldero’ is ‘Imeldific’ but reasonable — solonAlbay 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda reasoned that the structure could symbolize the “coming of age” of the Philippines, where there is a strong economy and a “strong government.” BULLSHIT!!! PHILS IS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!!! SINK THAT IN YOUR MIND!!! SPLURGING LIKE OTHER FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES IN SPENDING IS NOT A SANE DECISION!!! SPEND MONEY WISELY!!! Me as a history tchr to my students: Ang kaldero na eto ay nagkakahalaga ng P50M para sa SEA Games 2019.Sunod-sunod na lindol at pagbaha ang nangyayari sa Pilipinas ngunit inuna nilang gastusan ang kaldero at isinantabi ang rehabilitation ng mga nalindol at nabahang mamayan. What? Strong economy? Eh tinaxan nyo na lahat.. Pero binawasan nyo yung fund ng DoH, Education sector etc.. Mga wallet nyo lang yata yung nagiging strong.
